"These were taken away before their time, and a flood overthrew their foundation. "
— Job 22:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:”
“Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream, ”
“who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,”
“men who were carried off before their time, when the flood was poured out on their foundations?”
“Who were taken away before their time, and a flood hath overthrown their foundation.”
“Who were violently taken away before their time, who were overcome by the rush of waters:”
“Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:”
And you say: “Well, what does God know?” and, “He judges, as if through a fog,”
and, “The clouds are his hiding-place,” and, “He does not examine us closely,” and, “He makes his rounds at the limits of the heavens.”
Do you not want to tend the path of the ages, which wicked men have spurned?
These were taken away before their time, and a flood overthrew their foundation.
They said to God, “Withdraw from us,” and they treated the Almighty as if he could do nothing,
though he had filled their houses with good things. May their way of thinking be far from me.
The just will see and will rejoice, and the innocent will mock them.
